Apparently...

I'm a yanker!

By that definition anyway...not that that's a bad thing.

Last night I tried to hold my hook overhand (like a pencil) whereas I normally hold it underhand (with the shaft of the hook totally enclosed by my fingers) and I seriously don't understand how people can crochet like that!!  I felt like I had little to no control over my hook...it was a disconcerting feeling.

I have started bordering the assembled little-into-big squares.  I'm probably going to have to block them before I whipstitch them all together.  I'm thinking also of adding little teeny ruffles on the right side, to give it a little more texture...I guess we'll see when we get there!!

Progress is progress :)

I've finished putting the little squares into bigger squares.  Then they get a few rows of border, then those get whipstitched together, and the whole thing gets another few rows of border...

p.s. Cruising Ravelry is FUN.

The baby blankie...

Here are pictures of the individual blocks for the baby blankie I am working on - just the other night I finished making up the green ones.  I made 20 of each of them.  They're relatively small (2.5 x 2.5 in) and so they worked up in a snap.  Then one of each color is combined into a larger block, has a few rows of dc added, and then the larger blocks are joined to form the body of the blanket.  It's one of the most fun patterns I've ever done.
